Update on Violet Eyes That Weren't

Mattel/Barbie Collector came through on this one. They sent me a return label and I sent the wonky-eyed Miss Liz back to them. Today I received a new one with properly screened eyes. I am pleased. It did not cost me anything additional, except time, to get a good doll.

Much better!

Her eyes are still not violet but neither are the promo's eyes.
So, the moral of the story is, don't settle for a messed up doll

Yes, Terri, and be sure to post those pics. Her dress is glued on. I am not sure how to get it off. Any tips on that? Hair fluffing helps quite a bit but I was terribly disappointed with the stiff body.

I would warm her in a heating pad. That will soften the glue and enable you to peel the dress away. At the same time you may be able to easily scrape (carefully) the residue glue from her body. I haven't taken her out of the box yet. I'm still unpacking dolls from our move.

She's nice. I'm a teeny bit confused. What era of Liz's life are these dolls? Early film career? (Hot Tin Roof etc?) The doll's faces and hairstyling look like they could be. If so, the AIDS Ribbon era came later. Maybe the Red Ribbon was a contractual agreement with her Estate? Still a nice doll though. :)

Black Holes

When I switched photo servers a year ago, many of my images were lost in a black hole. If you are going back in time throughout my blog, you will come across these black holes. It's unfortunate but it would take me a huge amount of time to identify and republish the images. If there is a specific one you are very interested in, email me with the date of the post and I will try to get it for you.Thanks for your continued interest in my blog!Terri
